Hands on Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) The only team that looks like it is dead and buried is Bury. We are under threat from all those teams around us but we just (some just) need 11 points from 9 games to stay up. The games against Rochdale and Northampton are getting bigger and bigger. It goes to the wire. Like others I'm no longer confident that we can do what is needed but RW does seem to blow hot or cold so we just (some just) need another hot run of games.

Andy-latic Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The only way you beat a team that’s technically better than you, is by working your socks off. And not one of them looked like they gave a shit today, pathetic performance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Some mediocre performances today Byrne, Fane and Davies awful. Hunt at right back was a dismal failure and why is Davies starting games? I can't think of a single outfield player who did well, except maybe McEleney who showed a glimpse of skill Nick Powell would have been proud of. Doyle was slow and doesn't look match fit, yet Nazon who has pace wasn't used against the lumbering Wigan centre backs. RW is proving stubborn in his tactics and sticking with regularly poor performing players. The alarm bells must be ringing about keeping his job as to continue doing what he's doing will bring relegation IMO. He has a massive squad yet can't seem to mould a team or shape together. A big mistake not signing 2 big strong centre backs in the transfer window which may cost him dearly. Sorry this will upset the happy clappers, but today showed the team just doesn't look up for a battle. I might be old fashioned, but when Byrne called the manager by his first name in a pre match interview it suggested to me too much palliness. It was Mr, boss or gaffer in my dinasaur days. RW needs to realise he isn't a player anymore, he's a manager. Some may disagree with me, but I say what I see from many years of watching football at all levels.

I call my immediate boss, senior directors and the managing director of my company all by their first names - we do ok - leadership isn’t about what you call someone and if you think otherwise then yes, you are a dinosaur.

Like I say if you think leadership requires you to call someone “boss” or equivalent then you’re a poor leader. i work in a multi million pound company that secures more work every single day and everyone from cleaner to CEO is on first name terms. Get out of the dark ages! If my MD called me into a disciplinary Id shit it - calling someone by first name doesn’t mean you don’t respect them Edited March 30, 2018 by Buckshawlatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythemostimportantkick Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Not shocked really. The only thing I’m shocked at is , reading here Pringle seems to escape criticism. I was expecting big things and was delighted when he signed. He’s been absolute shite ! Today especially. Waste of a shirt at the minute.Get big Paddy in sharpish.

I reckon all of them call Guardiola by his first name. More worrying for me were RW's comments about squad players not coming to see him when they've not been involved. There seems to be a lot of disinterested players on the pitch so if the ones that aren't playing aren't bothered either then I'm not sure where the fight will come from.
